Markets by themselves will not deliver
all the needed solutions…
• Clear Policy Signals are essential – Certainty, Coherence
• Need governments and industry support:
Changing price signals e.g. environmental taxes, emissions trading
Standards and regulation
Delivering green skills
Supporting environmental technologies
Labour markets
But…Can Europe combine ambitious environmental objectives with strong industrial competitiveness… Importance of global commitments and action
Overarching Policy Framework… Europe 2020: 3 interlinked priorities
1.) Smart growth: developing an economy based on knowledge and innovation
2.) Sustainable growth: promoting a more efficient, greener and more competitive economy
3.) Inclusive growth: fostering a high-employment economy delivering social and territorial cohesion
Chapter 2 analyses knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) and their
role as sources of innovation, technologies and as inputs for manufacturing
“Convergence Process” firms increasingly tend to develop new services as
part of a product package including physical goods;
The share of KIBS in GDP now amounts to some 11% in the EU, 13% in the US and 8% in Japan (details by MS next slide)
Integration of KIBS in the value chains of other industries - KIBS share of intermediate consumption in high-technology manufacturing amounted to some 14% in EU-15;
KIBS activities account for 11% of EU-15 direct exports and 18% of EU-15 exports measured indirectly;
Service output of manufacturing is growing fast, reaching annual growth rates of 5 to 10 % for the period 1995-2005
2012 focus on eco-innovation & competitiveness
